Hi..

As of SRM5.5 Lease and asset management scenario is introduced with Stand alone deployement. Pls see some useful information.

SRM Leasing and Asset Management (New)

Use

As of SRM 5.0, you can conduct leasing deals in the standalone scenario with Leasing and Asset

Management (LAM). LAM is a cross-application component that enables users to create and edit in

SRM external requirements, purchase orders, and invoices that stem from lease quotations in mySAP

Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

The external requirements that are created in SRM can contain the following external references to the

relevant leasing deals in CRM:

u2022 ID of the leasing deal

u2022 Item number of the leasing deal

u2022 Contract number

u2022 Item number of the contract

u2022 Global allocation ID (GAID)

u2022 Assumption of purchase order

If a purchase order is assumed, this means that a purchase order has already been generated

by some other means. For this reason, follow-on documents are created for external

requirements, but the vendor knows that even though there are two purchase orders, he only

has to deliver once.

The SRM system forwards the external references to the follow-on documents (purchase order and

invoice).

If a purchase order is created in SRM with reference to a leasing deal in CRM, an XML confirmation

message is sent to the CRM system. If the system cannot create a purchase order, the administrator of

SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) receives a message to this effect.

As long as there are no follow-on documents, it is possible to cancel and delete the external

requirements that have references to leasing deals and the relevant purchase orders. Changes to

leasing deals can also be transferred from the CRM system to the relevant external requirements and

purchase orders in SRM. If this is not possible, the purchaser is informed of these changes by e-mail.

In the SRM system, it is possible to create invoices with references and without references to purchase

orders (assumption of purchase order). However, the invoices must contain the external references.

Invoices can be approved either internally (in SRM) or externally (in CRM). If invoices are subject to

external approval, changes to the external references can be triggered by means of an XML message. If

invoices are subject to internal approval, then it is possible to change tax codes, account assignments,

and descriptions. As soon as invoices are in the approval process, it is no longer possible to change

products, quantities, or business partners.

Invoices that have not yet been passed on to financial accounting (the FI system) can be deleted by

means of an XML message. Invoices that have already been passed on to the FI system can be

canceled by means of an XML message. The system sends a message when invoices are rejected,

deleted, or canceled.

Effects on Existing Data

You have to convert all existing invoices that have references to quotations or contracts in CRM into

invoices without references to purchase orders. To do this, you have to perform the following steps:

1. Activate LAM (see the Customizing section below).

2. Run report BBP_LAM_INVOICE_XPRA550.

Effects on Customizing

The following Implementation Guide (IMG) activities are relevant for Leasing and Asset Management:
